Sorrento 5 Star Hotels - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - Book Review

Admiration and respect found in a variety of relationships, i mean enduring love, by love story I don't just mean romance. This ambitious concept was so skilfully executed it simply added to the telling of what is ultimately a modern day love story. My concerns about the time travelling and its potential 'gimmick' factor were completely unfounded though. I don't normally enjoy science fiction so I originally had my reservations about the time travelling aspect of this story. I can see why so many people loved The Time Traveler's Wife - there is something in it for everyone.

This is a story that could be enjoyed by men and women in equal measure. They do not always do the right thing and that simply heightens their likeability, they are not perfect. Are strikingly real despite the very unreal situations they find themselves in, henry and Clare, the lead characters. It also removed the need for laborious descriptive detail; this adds immense depth to the telling of the story. Niffenegger's use of a dual narrative presents the tale from the two lead character's differing perspectives.

It is a valuable reminder of the fragility of our lives and the virtues of living in the moment - carpe diem, on a deeper level! It is a very clever telling of an excellent story, on one level. That word would be 'moving', if I had to describe this story in one word.

She has also written graphical novels and short stories. My Fearful Symmetry was released in 2009, her second novel, after much anticipation. Released in 2003 was Niffenegger's debut novel, the Time Traveler's Wife.
